What causes warts and what is the best remedy to get rid of them?… by jewel274
How do I stop my Exotic Persian male cat from antagonizing my petite female Bengal cat? He even tries to prevent her from eating!
What exactly is Sjorgen Syndrome and what is the best remedy that can alleviate the symptoms? Does it ever go away?
Best Answer:
Three questions in one? lol all for the price of two points! Ok ……here goes:
1) Warts are viral. Since they are a virus you have to kill it. Wart pads are easy. They look like little band aids (clear so you don't even see that you are wearing one) with a medicated pad in the center. You keep them on 48 hours in a row. Then reapply. It literally will allow the wart to pop off. Scared the beejeezus out of my daughter when she was 6 and had the wart pop off and left a little hole in her finger……but it soon healed up and the wart never returned.
Cats are territorial. I'm not sure you can stop him from antagonizing her other than removing him from a certain area. Let the female roam while the male must remain locked up in a certain room or wing of the house. After a lengthy period, he can be allowed back in, but may not feel he is king of this territory anymore. (worth a shot)
3) Sjogren's syndrome classically features a combination of dry eyes, dry mouth, and another disease of the connective tissues, most commonly rheumatoid arthritis.
Sjogren's syndrome is an autoimmune disease, characterized by the abnormal production of extra antibodies in the blood that are directed against various tissues of the body. This particular autoimmune illness is caused by inflammation in the glands of the body. Inflammation of the glands that produce tears (lacrimal glands) leads to decreased water production for tears and eye dryness. Inflammation of the glands that produce the saliva in the mouth (salivary glands, including the parotid glands) leads to mouth dryness.
The treatment of patients with Sjogren's syndrome is directed toward the particular areas of the body that are involved and complications, such as infection. There is no cure for Sjogren's syndrome.
Dryness of the eyes can be helped by artificial tears, eye lubricant ointments at night, and minimizing the use of hair dryers. When dryness becomes more significant, the ophthalmologist can plug the tear duct closed so that tears cover the eye longer. Cyclosporin eyedrops (Restasis) are recently approved medicated drops that can reduce the inflammation of the tear glands improving their function. Signs of eye infection (conjunctivitis), such as pus or excessive redness or pain, should be evaluated by the doctor.
The dry mouth can be helped by drinking plenty of fluids, humidifying air, and good dental care to avoid dental decay. The glands can be stimulated to produce saliva by sucking on sugarless lemon drops or glycerin swabs. Additional treatment for the symptom of dry mouth are prescription medications that are saliva stimulants, such as pilocarpine (Salagen) and cevimeline (Evoxac). These medications should be avoided by persons with certain heart diseases, asthma or glaucoma. Artificial saliva preparations can ease many of the problems associated with dry mouth. Many of these types of agents are available as over-the-counter products including toothpaste, gum, and mouthwash (Biotene). Vitamin E oil has been used with some success. Infections of the mouth and teeth should be addressed as early as possible in order to avoid more severe complications. Diligent dental care is very important.
